Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[NYC/NJ] hangout thread: so, what are you doing this weekend?
Posts
Hey so I just put into motion a potential dark sun 4e game for two of the NYC/NJ people (as well as some people I know) last night. I would like to play anything though, since I almost always DM all the time forever into infinity forever.
i have always wanted to hang out with d&d NYC peeps. anyone interested in doing any hanging out on that saturday, or the 11th?

i have never been to NYC. I guess i don't really know what to do there. Thought about seeing Rockefellar center, and maybe times square, and metropolitan museum of art. I'm sure there are other awesome things that i'm either forgetting or not aware of.
I can probably hang out that Saturday afternoon. Right now my weekend schedules have been a bit wonky, though with proper planning I'm sure I can meet somewhere in the city. The museums are all pretty awesome, but also tend to eat up large portions of your time.
There's also always karaoke!

i need dice right
The Met will take you the better part of the day unless you rush through it or have very specific tastes in art.
It's also a much better way to spend a day than going to Times Square, if you ask me.
D&D mans aren't too difficult to make, especially in 4e. The builder helps a lot, but you need a D&D Insider account to make use of it, unfortunately.
And yeah, dice might be handy. I'd be happy to loan you a set whenever we play, though if you want to pick out your own you might consider dropping by the Compleat Strategist on 33rd whenever you get the chance.
what kind of dice to i need and how many?
d6 d10 and d20 for sure, right?
is there anything i need to look out for when making a character so to not screw myself?
They sell little boxes with a full set of dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, and a percentile...d% I guess?), which will be all you need as far as that goes. Spares are fun to have as well, because rolling lots of dice is better than rolling one at a time, but that's totally optional. Prices can widely vary, depending on the set.
If you use the builder it's pretty tough to screw up a character. Usually you can go with whatever sounds coolest to you and you can have a good time playing.
vile lies. karaoke is horrible.

I will need a week or two to get ready, of course.
I am going to try and show up to nexus' thing tonight, maybe figure out what kind of game folks want to play while ruining shit or watching a movie.
I have photographic evidence
Its not like NJ is so big that its not unreasonable for someone to be outside of those areas either. I'm less about an hour from any of those locales, and I'm down near Princeton.
so we are playing d&d tomorrow then cool dogg
JOHNSON MASTERSON IS READY TO RUMBLE
Oh I don't think anyone would care if a PAer showed up who was a bit further away. Just that most events would be organized in that area, rather than us meeting up in The Oranges or Ho-Ho-Kus or Casual Eddy's place (wait...).
You're on the same NJTransit line so it counts
Also this is totes for all of Jersey folk too
I believe Drez mentioned something about Atlantic City once

I think you misunderstood me. I didn't mean "fuck off, southies" so much as most activites discussed here (so far) have been mostly centered around NYC/JC/Hoboken (in order of obvious awesomeness).
All are welcome, even outsiders (once they pass the mandatory probation period and face the trial of the sewer beasts.)

so did i do good for a person whos understanding of d&d is limited to the PA podcasts
Looks pretty solid to me. Nothing seems missing and this guy will definitely succeed at hitting things often and hard, which is the job of a striker. Only thing to keep in mind is that with a low AC you're going to get hit a lot as well. Sort of like a heavyweight with a glass jaw.
SHOCKING!
